Horrible Histories: Football

What it is: A laugh-out-loud history book from the Horrible Histories series that dives into the wonderfully weird world of football. From its chaotic beginnings in the Middle Ages to legendary matches, famous players, shocking injuries, and trailblazing women in the game, it's packed with fascinating facts and plenty of footballing fun.

Why we love it: If your kids are anything like our football-mad children - this book is perfect for the ones who are always kicking a ball around the garden. This book proves that history doesn't have to be boring - we love how it combines real historical events with the humour and gross-out details that Horrible Histories does so brilliantly. Whether they're a dedicated football fan or a reluctant reader, the bite-sized facts, illustrations, and hilarious stories make learning feel like fun.
